Centering Prayer: Divine Therapy

A 6 week Online Series

with Daniel Daeseop Yi

Divine Therapy is a six-week course that takes a more advanced look at the process of spiritual transformation. Fr. Keating integrates into his teachings St. John of the Cross’s Dark Night of the Soul, also called the Night of Sense, which describes a feeling of God’s absence in our lives or the “Biblical desert.” From there, Fr. Keating moves into the Night of Spirit, drawing on St. Theresa of Avila’s paradigm for spiritual transformation. He also shares his unique take on the Beatitudes, explaining how they speak to the potential for dismantling the false-self system and healing our emotional programs for happiness.

This course is based on talks given by Fr. Thomas Keating on issues that surface after Centering Prayer has been practiced over an extended period of time. Topics include Night of Sense, Night of Spirit, What Contemplation is Not, and Contemplation and Action.

The class includes a twenty-minute period of centering prayer, viewing the videotape and time for discussion.

The Spiritual Journey Series, crafted by the Contemplative Outreach of Colorado chapter, comprises five enriching courses: 1) Basic Centering Prayer 2) Human Condition 3) Spirituality in Everyday Life 4) Divine Therapy 5) Divine Love
Courses 1 Basic Centering Prayer and 2 Human Condition are recommended prerequisites for this course. However, anyone who has established a Centering Prayer practice is warmly welcome to join.

Before the class, please obtain Gerald May’s book, Dark Night of the Soul.
